U.S. law-of-the-jungle mentality won’t work in the era of globalization

Some
U.S. officials are really “good” at impeding the development of Chinese
enterprises, and Senator Marco Rubio who went restless these days is one of
them.
The
Senator filed legislation on Monday that would prevent China’s Huawei from claiming
patent fees in U.S. patent courts. It sparked huge criticism on social media,
triggering widespread condemnation from across the world. Even U.S. netizens
couldn’t believe that this man who undermines the U.S. patent system is
actually a senator.
Ranked
as the 7th most conservative among the 100 senators in U.S. congress in 2017 by
American Conservative Union, Rubio has supported quite a lot of things that
were widely opposed by the international community, including endorsing the
U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the strict
sanctions on Iran. Besides, he also holds a conservative attitude on climate
change, and encourages U.S. government to meddle in domestic affairs of
Venezuela.
Rubio,
who spares no effort on anti-China actions,
has been trumpeting that imposing additional tariffs on Chinese imports will be
“good” to the U.S., and even fabricated an absurd argument that “surrender to
China would damage America long term.”
What
Rubio did has been reflected in most of the motions against China proposed by
the U.S. Congress in recent years. He even challenged China’s national
sovereignty, such as attacking EI Salvador’s decision to establish diplomatic
relations with China and teaming up with Republican Senator Cory Gardner to
propose an amendment to restrict U.S. funding to EI Salvador.
With
strong ideological prejudices, the “Rubios” observe the world with biased
attitudes and see only strategic competitors. Based on double standards, these
people create evil ideas about how to stifle and suppress others. Yet inside
they are intimidated by Chinese enterprises, and that’s why they regard a
private Chinese company as a “threat” to the big power of the U.S.
Driving
Huawei out of the U.S. market is “10 times more important than a trade deal
with China.” The remark of Steve Bannon, who is referred to as
a living fossil of Cold War by U.S. media and calls on the U.S. to “restrict
access to capital market to Chinese companies”, have exposed the true intention
of these people. Such provocative statements have fully revealed the nature of
these US politicians.
Huawei’s
recent demand for patent fees from the U.S. company is totally reasonable and
rule-based market behavior. After all, there must be justice in the world.
Huawei cannot just provide large number of its patents in core network
technologies, wireless communication infrastructure and IoT technologies to the
U.S. for free.
Some
Americans are obsessed with robbery. Even though they are reiterating
intellectual property right protection, all they want is to take advantage of
others. In front of private interests, these sanctimonious politicians have
already thrown away their pretended image of an advocate for democracy and rule
of law.
Unfortunately,
the global industrial chain is at a mess. Due to the
pressure from some American officials, Huawei has to lower its revenue
expectations, which leads to indirect impact on some U.S. companies including
Micron, Qualcomm, Qorvo, Skyworks, and Western
Digital.
Hindering
the market expansion of Huawei has also caused an 8.7-percent plunge
in stock price of U.S. chipmaker Broadcom last week, and declines of the stock
prices of other major U.S. companies in the chip industry.
Obviously,
restrictions on Huawei would lead to inevitable damage to U.S. companies. Are
the short-sighted “Rubios” foreseeing this result?
All
in all, in the era of globalization where the destinies of various countries
are intertwined, the law of the jungle doesn’t work. “Rubios” can never stop
the historical trend of open cooperation which accelerates scientific and
technological innovations and boosts common development of the world.
